Better in person! Great place to gather with family. Unfortunately, too cold to use outdoor firepit area. Loved seeing deer outside. Kitchen well stocked. LG TV was challenging, so we used apps we subscribe to.

Great place to relax

We had a great experience at this home. We enjoy just hanging out and doing most of our own cooking, so this place was ideal as they had every item needed and more for cooking including the grill which was awesome! Sitting by the fire next to the creek under the lights at night watching deer coming and going was amazing. Our kids loved exploring the yard area. We seen hundreds of deer in the 4 days of being there. We didn't get out to explore, but seen the many parks and hiking trails in that community. We would recommend this place to everyone. The beds, blankets, showers, cooking, fireplace and most important the fire pit all exceeded or expectations. Very clean and smells great with the new cedar wood installed.
